9/9, rarity 145

Im from Chicago, and while Im a Sox fan, I also know the Cubs very well and I had a hell of a time thinking of the 3K hit guy for them. Forgot at first that Brock started his career there. Even though most people got Brock, Im mad at myself for forgetting about Rafael Palmeiro I feel like he was the easy answer.

jeez, I missed the cubs 3k hits guy. I guessed Hornsby.

6/9, rarity 473

Struggled with this one (it is yesterdays puzzle, just got it done in time)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/2/7/AAEqD0AAEt4v.jpg

I can't believe that Andrew McCutchen didn't have 100 RBI in his MVP year with the Pirates

I sucked at today's puzzle, but did pretty well yesterday.

7/9 today.

Baltimore continues to be a weak spot for me

7/9 today.

OMG, I completely forgot all about Charles Johnson until I saw him in your answers. In fantasy, he was a stud at catcher about 25 years ago. He even played briefly for my White Sox.

I love seeing players Id completely forgotten even existed when scrolling through other peoples answers.

Wasted three guesses on SF/ROTY

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/8/1/AAfcteAAEuGF.jpg

I'm at 6/9 with three chances left, but I'm racking my brain and can't think of a good one, lol.

8/9, rarity 253

Couldnt get Bos/Cin. Was even specifically trying to think of players in Boston from the 2004 championship team, and completely overlooked Bronson Arroyo.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/1/8/AAEqD0AAEuTK.jpg

Damn, I still can't get past 6/9. But I still consider this leaving victorious since I reined in my guessing impulse.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/2/3/AABhrNAAEuTP.jpg

Today's was easy and I blew it. 7/9

lmao, I made too many guesses.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/2/2/AABhrNAAEuX6.jpg

EDIT: I should've remembered Tommy Pham for the BOS/CIN one yesterday. Gonna use Tony Renda next time, though, now that I looked that crap up.

9/9, 124 rarity

Ron Gant has turned into my go-to guess for the Braves if I dont know the answer. And Cliff Floyd was literally me throwing in the towel after blanking on Washington/SD all day long. Pure luck. I have no idea how I forgot about Juan Soto as an answer for that one. Whenever I thought of the Padres, I just kept thinking about Tatis Jr and Ken Caminiti

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/2/5/AAEqD0AAEucp.jpg

8/9.

Yep, Juan Soto and Cody Bellinger were the obvious ones I blanked on in what should have been an easy 9/9. My highest % guess in the remaining 7 squares was just 19%.

Miss / Edwin Jackson (5%) / Alfonso Soriano (13%)
Adrian Gonzalez (12%) / Mike Piazza (4%) / Miss
Fred McGriff (12%) / Tim Hudson (12%) / Chipper Jones (19%)

Today's grid has no teams on it, just career accomplishments. Tricky!

Damn, I already messed up when I put in Pujols for the Hall of Fame/500 HR category, lol.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/9/9/AABhrNAAEufX.jpg

Also tricky because the Silver Slugger Award didn't start until 1980

Ended up with 5/9, which is respectable. I tried getting flashy by putting in Greinke in the Gold Glove category, but thought better after my first failure, haha.

I have my guesses on paper, but I'm scared to try them (lol)

Mike Trout doesn't have a gold glove?

I seem to remember asking that same (rhetorical) question recently, too, in one of these IG topics. There's another one on the Baseboard, if you don't know.

9/9!!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/0/5/AAfcteAAEufd.jpg

I almost put in Ted Williams for the upper-left corner, but didn't think he had 500 HRs.

I was sweating the bottom left because career batting average is not something that sticks in my brain

That man has failed me twice already

9/9, rarity 27

I liked this one today! A lot easier than the usual stuff, like thinking of someone who played on the Rays and DBacks, but it was a lot of fun. Had to stop and think on a few to make sure I wasnt screwing myself on an answer I should use elsewhere.

Agreed. Much easier but still enough of a challenge to make you pause a bit.

9/9 but I kinda cheated because I had to google when the Silver Slugger was first introduced. And also since I used Ted Williams immediately in the top left corner, that made the bottom left corner way harder than it should have been. It was my last one, so I just looked up to confirm the .300 BA for who I had in mind.

It's kind of interesting that the top 3 rows have the fewest available correct choices, but the accuracy thus far is at 81% (for 9 choices), 89% (for 13 choices), and 95% (for 19 choices).

I guess, rare as those combinations are, nearly everybody can think of a couple of guys who qualify.

There arent many of them, but they are amongst the greatest to ever play the game.

8/9, 228 rarity

I feel like there have been a buncha White Sox categories lately. Although its probably more just a situation that nearly 1/3 of all teams can be used on any given day, so were gonna see all of the teams on a frequent basis just with different pairings.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/6/9/AAEqD0AAEuuh.jpg

meh

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/0/0/AABhrNAAEuvA.jpg

I took my time with this one. Got a rarity score is 22, which is my best so far.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/2/9/AAP15pAAEuvd.jpg

8/9 today. Should've been 9/9 but I got cute with CHC/HOU

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/4/9/AAfcteAAEu2B.jpg

Got 7/9. I think that's tied for my highest so far. To be fair, I had to look up Jake Marisnick, because I kept thinking Josh Reddick and had enough sense to know that was wrong. Almost got MLB The Show '19 out so I could look at the default roster, haha.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/6/5/AABhrNAAEu2R.jpg

I only got Percival because one time I made a closer in The Show who had the same last name and someone wondered if it was a reference to him. It was actually a complete coincidence, but I always remembered that encounter.

8/9, rarity 236

I tried to get cute with my first guess and went with Rod Beck for a Cubs closer with 300 saves. Turns out he only had 286. Doh.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/7/8/AAEqD0AAEu5m.jpg

6/9 today

Forgot about David Price for the second time this week, and was also thrown by the fact that Nolan Ryan never won 20 games for the Rangers

I guessed him for the Rangers but had a feeling he hadn't done it. That was one of the toughest squares so far. Only three correct answers.

Truth is, Nolan Ryan had very few 20 win seasons

6/9, rarity 443

I wasted some bullets on the Rangers 20 win guy. Couldnt think of an answer for the life of me. First tried Cole Hamels and Kenny Rogers. Couldnt try Nolan Ryan because I already used him.

Tough round today, IMO.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/1/9/AAEqD0AAEvJ3.jpg

Wasted 3 guesses on MIN ROTY (and never got it)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/2/0/AAfcteAAEvOk.jpg

^lmao, mine is exactly the same as yours, except I only got 4/9.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/5/2/AABhrNAAEvPE.jpg

5/9, rarity 511

That Twins row destroyed me. Shoulda gotten Liriano for Min/Pit. That RotY for the Twins took away so many guesses. Looking at the answers after the fact, and none of the (seemingly) obvious choices like Joe Mauer, Torii Hunter, Johan Santana, Kirby Puckett or even Corey Koskie were correct.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/5/9/AAEqD0AAEvVb.jpg

5/9 today. Oof
Weirdly, got 7/9 on the basketball grid, where I'm usually terrible

6/9

I got those 6 pretty quickly. Drew complete blanks on the others. I dont even remember Jamie Moyer playing for the Rockies.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/9/6/AAEqD0AAEvd0.jpg

5/9
Meh

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/9/8/AABhrNAAEvnO.jpg

I got 8/9 earlier because I misread one of the cross-sections as Diamondbacks/Giants instead of Braves/Giants, so I put Royce Clayton. I was so annoyed that I did it again on my laptop with the self-imposed rule that I couldn't re-use any from the first one I did or any of the most popular answers I saw after I completed it. It took me quite a bit of time to complete this one with those rules but I ended up with a 42 rarity score.
